A slew of Marilyn Monroe and Hugh Hefner antiques at a subsequent bid organized by Julien’s Auctions attracted a lot of interest. The show of the occasion was the sale of Monroe’s iconic red Pucci dress, worn by the artist, which set a new bid history for Pucci clothes, fetching a astounding$ 325, 000.
Another Notable Products

In addition to the green Pucci dress, a number of other Monroe and Hefner-related items also found fresh owners during the three-day auction. A memorial tomb at Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park & Mortuary in Los Angeles, which was close to both Monroe and Hefner’s last resting places, sold for$ 195, 000. Even sold was a grave symbol from Monroe’s vault, which fetched$ 88, 900 due to minor use from constant scratching by followers.
Hugh Hefner’s pink smoking jacket, boots, underwear, and tobacco pipe ensemble went for$ 13, 000, along with a round mansion bed custom- made for Hefner as a backup to his principal bed at the initial Playboy Mansion in Chicago, which even sold for$ 13, 000.
Personal Connection
The purchaser of the tomb and additional things, Anthony Jabin, expressed his lengthy- held desire to be near Monroe for forever. For the rest of my life, I’ve often imagined being next to Marilyn Monroe, Jabin said. ” And I bought Hugh Hefner’s round mattress and Marilyn Monroe’s bathing suit at Julien’s this week-end”.
Extra Income
Other notable items that were sold at the auction included a dress worn by Marilyn Monroe for The Seven Year Itch, which sold for$ 129, 000, and a custom-made three-piece bathing suit ensemble from the 1954 musical There’s No Business Like Show Business, which was also sold for$ 29, 250.
